Nursery duties relate to anything involving the child’s well being

They may include:

• Children’s laundry (washing, ironing and placing any clothes that may have been outgrown to one side)
• General tidiness of the rooms used by the children on a daily basis
• Keeping the toys in a hygienic state
• Organising age appropriate activities, such as music classes, swimming etc. Planning play dates and also ensuring the children have quiet times.
• Dressing and bathing the children
• Providing feedback to the family at the end of each day, perhaps keeping a daily diary.
• Homework supervision
• Providing well balanced, nutritious meals
• School and nursery runs
• Stimulation of the children, mentally and physically
• Creative, fun and educational play
• Liaising with the school on behalf of the parents

A nanny does not take on any cleaning duties aside from the children’s rooms unless pre-arranged between themselves and the family.
